Gundy also stated that Blackmon will not travel with the team for Saturday's game against Kansas State. The sophomore, who was returning from the New York Giants-Dallas Cowboys game in Arlington, Texas, was pulled over Tuesday morning in Carrollton for going 92 mph in a 60 mph zone. He was given a field sobriety test after the officer detected a alcohol on his breath. He was arrested for DUI but was later released on bail.

Gundy, who made the announcement Wednesday evening at a press conference, talked about how he made his decision for the suspension.

"I compiled all the information just like I do with any situation that happens outside of our football program. I call it like it is and I make the decision. No one else makes that decision but me. I decide what the punishment will be depending on the situation and I think what took place once I gather all the information. There are no two that are alike. Sometimes the procedure outside of here based on the court system is involved, and sometimes it is not. We are always going to follow the law and in our opinion what he did deserves a suspension from this game."

Blackmon apologized to fans and teammates for the incident.

"I made a mistake and I take full responsibility for it. I am embarrassed to be in this position. I am truly sorry. To my family, to my friends, and to Oklahoma State as a whole, I look forward to redeeming myself and proving to everybody that this isn't who I am. I am humbled by this experience and I will grow from it."

Blackmon has 1,112 yards on 62 catches and 14 touchdowns for the Cowboys (6-1) this season. He leads the nation in receiving yards (158.6) and is second in receptions per game (8.86).
